The Semester Drags On

So today I received the tape drive and SCSI card I ordered for myself. However, when I installed the SCSI card, my NIC stopped working. I removed the SCSI card. NIC still didn't work. Not good. I ended up disabling the onboard NIC and obtaining a replacement NIC from ACM. However, I am concerned that this failure could cascade to the rest of the motherboard.

I am currently working on a diabolically evil CS 421 MP. It is due at 11:59 AM. I have class at 8:30, and then I'm going to miss part of my other class because I am scheduled to have lunch with the Chancellor. He wants to meet with officers of service organizations for some reason. Whatever.

I just changed my Windows color scheme so it's all freaky looking. It's awesome.

A New Semester Begins

Well, my attempt to set myself on a good sleep schedule for school has met with some degree of success. I went to bed at 6:30 last night and got up at 3:30 this morning. Just 5 hours before I had to be in class.

So I went to my first class of the new semester, ECON 411: Public Sector Economics. When the instructor came in, I thought "Awesome! He speaks perfect English!" Then he told us he was just filling in for our real professor, Prof. Giertz. Hmm, Giertz. Sounds German. I hope he speaks good English.

Anyway, after we got a syllabus and filled out a questionaire to confirm we met the prerequisites for this class, we got out. I now have 3 hours until my next class. I'm thinking I should go to the mall and buy a new belt. My old one broke yesterday, and I was wearing my good one this morning, but it won't do. It's too wide for my phone holster. I think I'll get a new umbrella, too. It's raining and my old one is crap.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my first post in a looooooooooooong time. I'm thinking about replacing the theme of my blog so it's not the stupid WordPress default. But no promises.
